For a developer, trying to blog about code is a frustrating process. WYSIWYG content editors mangle code and whitespace. Tools like gist and other code-snippet displays can help, but they also distance your code from your writing. With Dexy, we can write blog posts that incorporate code just where we want it, in the format we want it, and with confidence that the code we are writing is correct and easy to modify as we go.

In this tutorial we’ll walk through creating and then modifying a WordPress blog post. All the features mentioned in this blog post are available in Dexy 0.5.7. In order to post content to WordPress we will use its XMLRPC API, so before you try this yourself make sure you have enabled this option; it is disabled by default.
